<p>Seriously – I was just thinking about a sweater I had that was the perfect indigo/deep purple shade and it went with a lot of things but it got destroyed at the cleaners and I’ve never been able to find one just like it.</p>
<p>And a pair of sandals that fit great, never hurt, just the right amount of texture and ornament – had to throw them out after reheeling them multiple times.</p>
<p>Then of course there’s the pair white go-go boots I got when I was 7.</p>
<p>Sigh…</p>
<p>Not a particular item, but something in a size 10. ;)</p>
<p>Anything that makes me look young, thin and long-legged.</p>
<p>Classof 2015, I had those white go-go boots,too. I have loved boots ever since including a pair of red cowboy boots. Luckily, one daughter loves boots too, so I can indulge her.
I’m not sure I could pick one-maybe a long red coat from my early twenties. I know I never want to see that jumpsuit I had in high school again.</p>
<p>Katliamom, in heaven we all get to be young, thin and long-legged no matter what we’re wearing.</p>
<p>I once had a pair of jeans and every time I wore them somebody asked if I had lost weight. Those I would like to see again!</p>
<p>I want to see the white apron my grandma always wore (with her in it). I want to see the tan furry vest my mom loved (with her in it). I want to see the suit my dad wore at my niece’s wedding the week before he passed away (with him in it). I want to see my friend’s Joanne’s Harry Potter Snuggie (with her in it). :)</p>
<p>Comfy ones, just like in real life. Not too hot, not too cold, soft, not too tight. </p>
<p>Hell would be agonizing tight shoes pinching my toes and rubbing blisters on my heels, just like real life.</p>
<p>I think I was the only girl in third grade without white gogo boots. My mom was a cool mom overall, but she just didn’t get things like that–dressing me in lame Polly Flinders dresses with white collars and puffy sleeves. Ech.</p>
<p>So, I"d like to meet the pair I didn’t get.</p>
<p>(addendum–H says if I want to wear them now, that would be fine with him.)</p>
<p>Too funny garland!!! Yes the adult white go-go boots are a whole different vibe!</p>
<p>A particular little red dress…and of course the girls in the same shape they were when I wore it :)</p>
<p>Yes, so much of this is predicated on one again being that size.</p>
<p>I am thinking of a grey silk blouse/ skirt set I wore back during my size 4 days. Early '80’s size 4, which would be a smaller size these days.</p>
<p>I used to wear skirts and dresses all the time. Now I only wear them to funerals.</p>
<p>I had to wear lovely orthopedic shoes during the go-go boot years. I think I was the only girl in my class without the boots. </p>
<p>I prefer to be barefoot, but would like to see (and be able to wear) the prom dress my grandmother and I made. It would be in style again.</p>
<p>I did have a purple suede fringed vest in seventh grade that was pretty spectacular.</p>
<p>My eggplant colored sweatshirt. Soft, comfy, and a color that (oddly) looked perfect on me. It is still in my closet, I can’t bear to part with it, but it has holes in it. So I can only wear it a couple of times a year when I have no plans to leave the house. :(</p>
<p>Seriously – I had a gorgeous navy low-waisted wool long-sleeve dress, with pleats in the skirt. Very flapper-like. It went with a stunning red melton wool double-breasted jacket. </p>
<p>It was stolen from my closet my junior year in college. I would love to have the magnificent outfit now.</p>
<p>And a red wool crepe business suit, that I had when S1 was born. I wore that the first day I went back to work, after my maternity leave.</p>
<p>My Frye boots. :(</p>
<p>I still have my fringed, vaguely Native American print poncho that I got when i was about 17, but I think the last time it was worn was when my D was a hippie for Halloween, about 20 years ago.</p>
<p>I’d love to have my Harve Bernard navy double breasted cashmere jacket that I bought in New York while working in Manhattan. I wore it to death, so it’s likely to be in heaven when I get there.</p>
<p>The long black halter top formal with the silver thread running through. And the little bolero jacket that came with it. Very stylish in the late 70’s disco era and extremely popular at my college given how many fraternity/sorority formals it attended (only some with me in it).</p>
<p>The dress is neither dead nor missing. It is in my dresser neatly folded. But when I meet it in heaven it will finally be able to tell me some good stories I have been waiting years to hear.</p>
<p>Oddly, my white lab coats.</p>
<p>As a very young woman, I worked in microbiology laboratories for several years, and I really liked the work. But after losing a job, I ended up doing a different type of work, and I never went back to a lab again. I miss the work – and the lab coats that symbolized it.</p>
